So, between my mum, my dad and my step-parent there has been some excellent advice over the year. Though to be honest I’m not entirely sure whether all of these pieces of advice are great or really even advice. Words definitely. And I’m sure they meant well. I think it …
I say crying is good for you a release of endorphins your mind and body sorely needs. It’s a lie. Crying hurts, his now more than mine, every tiny tear stings, and my head hurts and hear aches as if I were crying, same as when I am crying. With …
My son got stuck in a frying pan today. Twice. The the first time he got it out and managed to step into it. Then he got stuck and couldn’t get out of the pan. So I lifted him up the entire inch needed and back onto the floor. When …
